        @Ikeaparty Asking a difficult question here. In what way: Is the jacket too tight? You’re not only stretching the denim, but the lining’s as well…

        Is 18oz denim stretchable? Then yes…

          @goosehd just curious if itll loosen up at all over time, not thinking of intentionally stretching anything, it fits basically primo right now.

          That said it could be slightly looser, XXL definitely too big, mostly just due to posture where my shoulders hunch forward it puts some tightness on the back across the shoulder so wondering if thatll loosen at all which based on your answer it will over time.

          Suspect that the lining would stretch more than the denim!

          edit: I havent ever owned anything of the vintage demo so mostly just dont have the experience with the fabric like I do with others

            @Ikeaparty It should stretch with time, but you’re working against a couple of layers and if it’s too small the results won’t be great. Just about right and there will be some give with that time.

                Hey all just got my jacket in and the Large is pretty perfect! The only thing that’s a little off is sleeves being a tad long. What does everyone think of the fit? Curious if a little long on the sleeves is the idea with this one in particular

                  I think it looks pretty spot on, I personally don't think the sleeves are too long, and once the jacket breaks in and settles in around the elbow area I think that will sort itself out a bit !

                  Enjoy the jacket !

                    In my experience it softens, considerably, but doesn't really stretch.

                      Sleeves are long on mine, and the shoulder is narrow, which makes them less long, I guess. I flip my cuffs.
